Why We Like It

The owner says it has no flux capacitor, but this DeLorean doesn't need one - it will take you right back to the past like it's 1981. It's covered just 3231 miles from new, has its original radio, jack, tools and even (perhaps unwisely, given their age) wears its original tyres. If you want a near factory-fresh DeLorean, this must be close to as good as it gets.

It looks as sharp as the suit of the man Ford's advertising agency imagined driving it back in 1971 - a man of action, with sideburns. This car's apparently exceptional condition, its rarity and claimed 34,000 miles explain the price, as do rocketing Capri values.

The first three Series of XJ Jaguars, which ran from 1968 to 1992, still look undervalued given what handsome, standard-setting cars they were.
